[Verse 1]
[Kelley Jake]
I really can't stay

[Shelley Regner]
But baby it's cold outside

[Kelley Jake]
I got to go away

[Shelley Regner]
But baby it's cold outside

[Kelley Jake]
This evening has been

[Shelley Regner]
Been hoping that you'd drop in

[Kelley Jake]
So very nice

[Shelley Regner]
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

[Kelley Jake]
My mama will start to worry

[Shelley Regner]
Beautiful, what's your hurry?

[Kelley Jake]
My daddy will be pacing the floor

[Shelley Regner]
Listen to the fireplace roar

[Kelley Jake]
Really I better scurry

[Shelley Regner]
Beautiful, please don't hurry

[Kelley Jake]
Maybe just half a drink more

[Shelley Regner]
Put some music on while I pour

[Kelley Jake]
The neighbors might think

[Shelley Regner]
Baby it's bad out there

[Kelley Jake]
Say, what's in this drink?

[Shelley Regner]
No cabs to be had out there

[Kelley Jake]
I wish I knew how

[Shelley Regner]
Your eyes are like starlight

[Kelley Jake]
To break this spell

[Shelley Regner]
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

[Kelley Jake]
I ought to say: "No, no, no, sir"

[Shelley Regner]
Mind if I move in a bit closer?

[Kelley Jake]
At least I'm going to say I tried

[Shelley Regner]
What's the sense of hurting my pride?

[Chorus]
[Kelley Jake]
I really can't stay

[Shelley Regner]
Baby, don't hold out

[Both]
Baby, it's cold outside

[Verse 2]
[Kelley Jake]
I simply must go

[Shelley Regner]
Baby, it's cold outside

[Kelley Jake]
The answer is no

[Shelley Regner]
But baby, it's cold outside

[Kelley Jake]
The welcome has been

[Shelley Regner]
How lovely that you dropped in

[Kelley Jake]
So nice and warm

[Shelley Regner]
Look out the window and see the storm

[Kelley Jake]
My sister will be suspicious

[Shelley Regner]
Gosh, your lips look delicious

[Kelley Jake]
My brother will be there at the door

[Shelley Regner]
Waves upon a tropical shore

[Kelley Jake]
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious

[Shelley Regner]
Ooh , your lips are delicious

[Kelley Jake]
Maybe just a cigarette more

[Shelley Regner]
Never such a blizzard before

[Kelley Jake]
I got to get home

[Shelley Regner]
But baby, you'll freeze out there

[Kelley Jake]
Say, lend me your coat

[Shelley Regner]
It's up to your knees right there

[Kelley Jake]
You've really been grand

[Shelley Regner]
I thrill when you touch my hand

[Kelley Jake]
But don't you see

[Shelley Regner]
How can you do this thing to me?

[Kelley Jake]
There's bound to be talk tomorrow

[Shelley Regner]
Think of my lifelong sorrow

[Kelley Jake]
At least there'll be plenty implied

[Shelley Regner]
If you caught pneumonia and died

[Chorus]
[Kelley Jake]
I really can't stay

[Shelley Regner]
Baby, don't hold out

[Both]
But baby, it's cold outside...
